They talk about the need to censor social media to control right-wing violence, while their media openly calls for assassination and violence—which then actually occurs.
Where are the Democrats we knew?
They demand that government take over health care because our private system is too costly, they even cheer when a health insurance company exec is murdered, but they don't notice or care that government health and welfare programs in California and Minnesota lose billions in theft by predators who deliver no service. No one on the right has murdered a Somali Minnesota-Man millionaire. Nor is right-wing media suggesting such a thing would be understandable or justified.
They talk about "saving our democracy" with aggressive gerrymandering, registration of illegals, mail ballot abuse and preventing simple, fair rules and accountability.
They bemoan the failure of Obama and Biden to institute Wilsonian rule, complete with censorship, outlawing opposition parties, federal prosecution of political enemies, untouchable administrative agency powers...and then decry an "imperial presidency" that is more democratic and far less inclined to rule-bending.
They simultaneously claim that the most recent assassination attempt must have been staged but bemoan its failure. They now try to forget that they paid for the KKK to appear and lied about Trump praising them as "fine people." They lied about Putin fixing an election, launched bogus impeachments, and...I could go on and on. People under Communist rule pretended to believe the party line, but what kind of loser tries to make himself believe nonsense when he does not have to?
Who are these people?

Like clockwork, the TDS crowd can always be counted on to provide cover for leftist violence.

And like clockwork, the MAGA crowd can always be counted on to promote destruction of the Bill of Rights to control "hateful" rhetoric. I miss the days when "conservatives" didn't blame the actions of individuals by scapegoating others.

Not exactly, but I think that maniac in Minnesota could reasonably be assigned to "the Right", as much as that label makes sense anymore. It gives me no pleasure to say so, but if we're keeping a tally I'm afraid that one does not belong on the left side of the ledger, and it was truly terrible.

I know such people. The ones I know lack proportion and perspective. For example, they equate the perceived evils of Christianity and Islam. They say stupid things, like declaring that the media don't lean left. They see the overturning of Roe v Wade as effectively the enslavement of women.
I don't know if their anger -- and they have a lot of anger -- blinds them, or if they just aren't very good at honest critical analysis. What makes someone who presumably isn't a complete moron, say Bill Kristol, abandon everything he once claimed to believe?
They aren't serious people. They're a serious problem, but they aren't serious people.
